Product Information
This book investigates the science of electricity in the long eighteenth century and its textual life in literary and political writings. Electricity was celebrated as a symbol of enlightened progress, but its operation and its utility were unsettlingly obscure. As a result, debates about the nature of electricity dovetailed with discussions of the relation between body and soul, the nature of sexual attraction, the properties of revolutionary communication and the mysteries of vitality. This study explores the complex textual manifestations of electricity between 1740 and 1840, in which commentators describe it both as a material force and as a purely figurative one. The book analyses attempts by both elite and popular practitioners of electricity to elucidate the mysteries of electricity, and traces the figurative uses of electrical language in the works of writers including Mary Robinson, Edmund Burke, Erasmus Darwin, John Thelwall, Mary Shelley and Richard Carlile.

- d***u (198)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoReasonably priced, few scuffs on the book but that’s probably due to the packaging but no big deal. I ordered on the 28th and it arrived on the 8th which was a bit longer than I hoped, but not a big deal. Would recommend the seller.
- r***n (525)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoAccurately described in advert. Arrived in predicted timescale. Although only posted in a postal plastic bag, it arrived in good condition. A very informative book, with quality pictures and represents good value for money. Good service from this provider.
- f***e (516)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoArrived in excellent condition but in a flimsy plastic package. Took a longer time to arrive than with other sellers - my conjecture (from looking at feedback comments) is that the seller supplies from countries perhaps outside the UK also, although my book was posted from the UK. An enquiry made as to the time of arrival, was on the third request, met with a response asking me to supply my purchase details, which would have been readily available on Ebay anyway.
